The Nashville Sounds have a rich history of providing quality minor league baseball for the area since the late 1970s.

Sounds owners MFP Baseball, a New York-based real estate company led by co-owner Frank Ward, made major renovations to 33-year Greer Stadium to the tune of $2.5 million in 2009. That included upgrades and repairs to the stadium’s restrooms, concession stands, scoreboard, sound system and seating.

The Sounds are the Triple-A affiliate of the National League’s Milwaukee Brewers, a relationship in recent years that has seen such stars as Prince Fielder and Ryan Braun polish their trade at Greer Stadium.
